Characterisation of the microflora contaminating the wooden vats used for traditional Sicilian cheese production
2015
Traditional Sicilian cheese productions are carried out employing traditional wooden vats, called <em>tina.</em> Many studies have highlighted the beneficial role of wooden dairy equipment by contributing to enriching the milk microflora and improving the acidification processes. The present work was undertaken to evaluate the safety of the wooden vats used to coagulate milk. To this purpose, the different microbial populations hosted onto the internal surfaces of the vats used to produce two different stretched cheeses, namely <em>Caciocavallo Palermitano</em> and <em>Vastedda della valle del Belìce DOP</em>, were investigated for the presence of spoilag…
Microbiological Characteristics of Wild Edible Mushrooms and Effect of Temperature during Storage of Morchella conica
2019
Background: The continuous worldwide increase of consumption of fresh mushrooms has registered in the recent years. The major goal of this study was to determine the microbiological characteristics of wild edible mushrooms and effect of temperature during storage of Morchella conica.
 Methods: Wild mushrooms of the species Boletus edulis, Cantharellus cibarius, and Leccinum aurantiacum were collected in a mixed forest of Picea abies, Betula pendula, and Pinus sylvestris located in Tartu territory, Estonia. Faecal indicators, potential pathogens, spoilage bacteria, and microfungi (yeasts and moulds) were evaluated. M. conica was microbiologically investigated for 24 days under different…
Quality of autochthonous Sicilian plums
2015
Thirty four plum local varieties and accessions obtained from different growing area of the Sicilian island were analyzed for their qualitative and nutraceutical properties and three commercialcultivar were used as references. These properties included the fruit fresh weight (g), the pulp firmness (FFF), the total soluble solids (TSS), the titratable acidity (TA), the total anthocyanins,the phenolics content and the antioxidant activity.This preliminary study showed significantly differeces among the plums; Zuccarato giallo and Prunu Niuru presented TSS higher than the commercial cultivars (24.9 and 21.6 °Brix respectively)and interesting data obtained on the nutraceutical compounds values …

L'esperienza formativa come opportunità di apprendimento organizzativo per la scuola
2012
What are the most appropriate ways to activate changes in educational services in order to optimally answer to their institutional mandate in a complex society? This paper answers this question by adopting a organizational perspective that covers interconnected and coordinated learning processes, with all the actors of the educational system (pupils, teachers, parents, managers, administrative staff...) and, in a meta-level, of the system itself. After an excursus on the theories of the organization, useful information for making choices and conscious operational design in a systemic and ecological perspective are given.
A study of the relationship between regulatory systems, assessment e locomotion, and online learning groups
2011
The present paper examines the relationship between assessment, locomotion and attitudes and learning outcomes in a Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) framework. Results showed that regulatory mode predicted exam marks, numbers of tasks completed, messages sent and attitudes towards the course and the ingroup. The theoretical implications and some reflections about CSCL and Regulatory-mode Theory (RMT) are presented.
Teaching Adaptively for Music - Smart Opportunities Emerging from the Representation of Score Notation
2014
Many developmental approaches have been proposed in literature and are currently in use in order to define music education curricula for young students. In this context, our research aims at describing a computer-based framework for the adaptive teaching of music. A music learning environment can be considered as smart when adaptive technologies are employed in order to improve student performance. Research about effective teaching practice pointed out that adaptive instruction can provide school settings able to foster inclusion and differentiation. Adaptive instruction can be conceptually defined as a set of alternative didactic strategies – either formal or non-formal – within a curricul…
La cura di sé come pratica educativa: le radici ellenistiche
2012
The “self-care”, yet one of the ethical principles of the hellenistic philosophies, is read again with a kind of disenchanted and post-modern view. Through a comparision between the Hellenistic and the modern ages, we can say that the first one is marked by the crisis of the pòlis, and the second one is living out the end of the national state with a sense of anxiety. So, by following Epicuro and the Stoicism, is possible to recognize in the practice of the “self-care” a pedagogic resource through which the Subject can activate a self-inquiry process able to involve or commit others human beings, planting the seeds for a planetary consciousness.
Uso de blogs y evaluación continua del aprendizaje del alumnado universitario
2013
Se presenta una experiencia de innovación educativa consistente en la evaluación continua del aprendizaje mediante el uso de blogs. Se desarrolló durante el curso 2010-2011, en un grupo de cinco asignaturas de las Universidades de Valencia y Castilla La Mancha. Las diversas formas de evaluación del aprendizaje que se implementaron, se concretan en tres tipos de usos participativos de los blogs: a) a través de los comentarios; b) de la elaboración de posts; o, c) como administradores. La experiencia llevada a cabo muestra que los blogs pueden ser un valioso instrumento para promover el trabajo autónomo de los estudiantes y contribuir a la actualización de las formas de evaluación tradicional…
Aprendizaje de la estadística económico-empresarial y uso de las TICs
2009
Desde hace algún tiempo un reducido equipo de profesores venimos trabajando en la elaboración de diverso material docente multimedia de estadística económico-empresarial. Por un lado, se persigue facilitar y complementar el desarrollo de las competencias y habilidades que se pretenden trabajar en la asignatura y, por otro lado, fomentar y promover el trabajo autónomo y autoevaluación del aprendizaje del estudiante, elementos fundamentales del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES). En este trabajo presentamos las líneas generales que estamos desarrollando en la elaboración de materiales multimedia para la materia de Estadística.AbstractThis article summarises the work of a small team …
